We took Eddie for his first haircut to finally tame that shaggy mane. He did great! The barber--Pat --was phenominal. He is completely set up for kids with a race car and horse for kids to sit in. Of course I took a ton of photos. Pat said the secret is not to hold his head. Dennis thought Pat looked like a boxer, trying to follow Eddie's head.
Eddie kept standing up and sitting down and turning his head mostly to watch Pat. Fortunately Eddie didn't seem to be making any sudden moves. He looked so adorable with his smock on, like a little angel. We had been a little concerned about any blowdryers scaring him, but he did fine. There were mirrors on either side wall and a big window to the outside. A kid named Henry who was waiting for a haircut was sharing his Henry the Engine of the Thomas the Tank Engine line. His mother told us there is an Edward the Engine and gave us a taste of what we had in store. So Eddie was kept plenty occupied between the haircut and all that was going on around him.
The first picture is post-haircut, when we went to get Eddie a passport photo. We were hysterical over his photo, which I'll post after we scan it in. Took longer to get the photo developed and paid for than to get the haircut. So you can imagine I must have been taking photos about every 10 seconds during the haircut.

Hey, there's a Wisconsin Badgers pennant in the background of pic #2 above. Must be in celebration of Eddie's Cheesehead heritage.
He looks adorable! And both he and the barber appear to have survived his first hair cut.
You'll have to give us the scoop on Pat the Barber when the time comes for Eli...maybe sometime next year :)
